Artists of this period directly influenced Western masters such as Monet, Gauguin and Whistler此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号and have since gone on to become household names. Other exhibits effectively present, through accurately reproduced environments, aspects of Japanese life at the time.Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)Highlights of this museum’s collection include a 4th-century Christian marble bust (半身像) of St.Paul at prayer, and a painting that questions life and our very existence, Gauguin’s “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?”It’s a must-go in the US.The Egyptian Museum (Cairo)As well as gathering together some of the finest archaeological finds from all Egypt, this museum also provides a rare opportunity to simply pop in and within minutes be standing face-to-face with one of the greatest works of mankind, Tutankhamun’s golden mask.

But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif., which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents —— whose average age is 76 ——will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who areforced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.24. What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A. uncertainB. doubtfulC. indifferentD. optimistic25. What is the modified Ford Fusion?A. The collection of social activities.B. The name of a retirement community.C. A kind of autonomous vehicle.D. A two-mile road for self-driving cars.26. Examples are given in the third and fourth paragraphs to prove__________.A. what are preventing the development of the technologyB. why driverless cars are restricted in many states in AmericaC. how driverless technology benefits the aged and disabledD. when driverless cars can enter people’s life eventually27. What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.B. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.C. The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.D. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C【2018届辽宁省瓦房店市高三下学期第一次模拟英语试题】Young sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like.Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis,Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers.By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours.When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day, or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone (激素), called auxin, appears to be a key driver.The “dance”to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures (成熟) and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east.“Bees like warm flowers.”Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good.“The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents earlier in the day.”he said “We’re currently testing this idea.”28. Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?A. To see how sunflowers growupB. To show what sunflowers’genes are.C. To study why sunflowers track the sun.D. To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.29. What does the underlined word “staking”probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. trackingB. fixingC. growingD. searching30. What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?A. They will produce a numberof new genes.B. They will grow faster than usual.C. They won’t swing back though set free.D. They won’t grow well.31. What is the advantage of sunflowers’ dance to the sun?A. They attract more insects.B. They save more energy.C. They mature more rapidly.D. They produce more flowers.D【2018届辽宁省实验中学、大连八中、大连二十四中、鞍山一中、东北育才学校高三上学期期末英语试题】A research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher Hodgson points out, “For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It’s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved.”It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company are determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an example driveof full autonomy all the way from LA to New York…and have the car park itself.”However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome——the software needs further validation and the appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modem Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out, “More than 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human error.”This costs motor insurers a shocking £20m per day in claims.32. What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?A. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.B. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.C. The software should be made officially acceptable.D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.33. What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.C. Traffic accidents wastes insurance companies quite a lot.D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.35. What is the author’spurpose in writing the text?A. To show his deep love for autonomous cars.B. To introduce a new development in technology.C. To amuse readers with funny examples.D. To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2 分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
